SammlerUsinger Rechtsanwälte Partnerschaft

What SammlerUsinger Rechtsanwälte Partnerschaft does

SammlerUsinger Rechtsanwälte Partnerschaft is a Berlin-based professional partnership of lawyers and notaries (Partnerschaftsgesellschaft under German law) operating from a single office in Berlin City West near the Zoologischer Garten transit hub. The firm is structured around five practice areas: Real Estate Law (Immobilienrecht), Public Commercial Law and Planning Law (Öffentliches Wirtschaftsrecht / Planungsrecht), Energy Law (Energierecht), Corporate / M&A / Finance, and Notary Services (Notare). It serves a diversified client base including mid-sized and listed companies, family businesses, startups, equity funds, banks, public-sector entities, municipalities, municipal utilities (Stadtwerke), network operators, plant operators, and project developers.

The business is a traditional professional services model — billable legal advice and notarial certification under German fee regulations — with pricing on an hourly/quote basis (not publicly disclosed). The firm has no proprietary technology platform; service delivery rests entirely on the expertise of its partner and associate roster. The partner group includes Managing Partner Sabine Usinger, Dr. Wolfgang Sammler, Dr. Claus-Peter Martens (LL.M.), Dr. Julian Schmidt, Dr. Eva Reininghaus, Marlies Känel (Maîtrise en Droit), Petra Symosek, and Dr. Christian Rehm, supported by two Of Counsel (Prof. Dr. Christoph Moench, Prof. Dr. Harry Schmidt) and a bench of associates including lateral hires from Magic Circle and large German firms (Gleiss Lutz, P+P Pöllath, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, Luther, Andersen).

The firm generates revenue through fee-for-service legal advisory and notarial work, with no subscription, platform, or recurring-contract component. Go-to-market is B2B sales-led, relying on direct client engagement, professional referrals, and a modest digital presence (LinkedIn, Xing, publications, career portal). Headcount falls in the 11-50 range and the firm reports a regional Berlin operating geography with no global footprint claim. The competitive proposition combines international-firm service quality with the agility of a manageable partnership and an interdisciplinary practice mix centered on regulated and transactional German law.
